Department of War organization. Expeditionary Power- and Energy-Dense Implementations From grain for horses to JP-8 fuel for jets, energy has long been the fundamental currency of the battlespace. ExPEDitions is a DARPA effort to leapfrog operational energy limitations, demonstrating a new chemistry for electrically rechargeable batteries and fuel cells able to achieve both high energy and power density.
Balancing energy and power “Energy” is like the size of your bank account; “power” is how fast you can spend it. A sensor array and a vertical-takeoff-and-land drone might have similar total energy needs, but one spends the energy over months, the other in minutes or hours.
The advent of affordable lithium-ion batteries has provided ubiquitous portable power at unprecedented energy densities, but hydrocarbon fuel power systems outstrip these energy densities by a factor of 10. ExPEDitions looks to match fuel energy density but in a battery form factor that will enable electrical rechargeability and complete independence from fuel supply lines in hotly contested environments.
Achieving high energy, stability, endurance ExPEDitions is building on a promising rechargeable carbon-air system developed in the DARPA ExCURSion program (Expeditionary Carbon Utilization for Energy Resilience and Stabilization).
ExCURSion’s novel chemistry shows high specific energy and high stability, making it a favorable system-level alternative to hydrocarbons for endurance missions and commercial applications alike (e.g. drones with hundreds of additional miles of range; electric vehicles that don’t risk bursting into flame).
In its first 18 months, ExPEDitions aims to create a battery solution ready for testing in real-world devices (e.g. drones, heavy machinery, etc.) to create a pathway for near-term adoption and maturation in commercial markets.
Overcoming power density limitations In ExPEDitions’ second 18-month phase – in addition to moving the initial battery solutions towards integration into real world devices – ExPEDitions will focus on using recent advancements in oxygen electrochemistry (or other novel approaches) to at least triple the peak specific power of the batteries, opening up new approaches to frontline capabilities.
Combining high energy and power density in a rechargeable solution could dramatically simplify battlespace logistics, particularly for contested environments. It could also help rapidly accelerate the commercial innovation and adoption around new energy solutions for an almost unlimited array of real-world applications.

Yes — AI tools like Granted can help research funders, draft proposal sections, and check compliance. However, always review and customize AI-generated content to reflect your organization's unique strengths and the specific requirements of the solicitation.
Review timelines vary by funder. Federal agencies typically take 3-6 months from submission to award notification. Foundation grants may be faster, often 1-3 months. Check the program's timeline in the official solicitation for specific dates.
Many federal programs offer multi-year funding or allow competitive renewals. Check the official solicitation for continuation and renewal policies. Non-competing continuation applications are common for multi-year awards.
ONR GlobalX AI for Advancing Maritime Security is a research and development solicitation from the Office of Naval Research that funds the development of artificial intelligence solutions for maritime security applications. The program seeks innovative AI technologies that can advance the state-of-the-art in naval and maritime threat detection, domain awareness, and autonomous systems for defense applications. Eligible applicants include commercial firms, academic institutions, and nonprofits capable of developing qualifying AI solutions; both US and international organizations may apply in some cases. Award amounts vary by project scope and are determined through BAA or NOFO solicitation review. There is no fixed deadline; solicitations are released periodically through ONR's Broad Agency Announcement process.
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) is a federal grant program administered by FEMA through the Office of the Governor's Public Safety Office that funds enhanced border security cooperation among Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Border Patrol, and state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies. The program supports joint operations to secure land and water border routes, improve intelligence sharing, and expand 287(g) screening operations within correctional facilities. In 2025, the national priority is Supporting Border Crisis Response and Enforcement, covering training, operational coordination, and risk management. Eligible expenses include operational overtime costs, staffing support for screening activities, and training programs in immigration law, civil rights protections, and 287(g) procedures.
